Charlie was excited about his future studies and career. He recently said he wanted to study Artificial Intelligence. He was one of the happiest, friendliest, most capable young men who ever lived, and his friends, family and the world have lost an amazing person. He prayed some of the most touching prayers with no prior thought whenever he was asked. We know he was close to God when he was here with us, and now we take comfort in his being with his Father in Heaven.
